Easy to build great flyer

Posted by Mark on 17th Jul 2017

Bought this kit to build with my 13yo son who was just dipping his toes into rocketry. The components are all of high quality, and the instructions were clear. The only issue we had were with the front of the fins that contact the body after insertion. They don't quite seal down on the outside of the airframe, so he had trouble with glue running when trying to do wood glue fillets.
The finished rocket is very pretty.
We've flown it 3 times now on Aerotech F20W-4 motors. Flew beautifully up to ~1,100 ft.
